  1. What about a cupcake decorated like a beehive
  2. This behavior saves me so much time every day on I95 in a construction area. I am the person staying in the ending lane until the last minute. It has been an issue since this construction started 8 months ago. In the beginning the backed up lane would be backed for 2 miles. After 8 months daily commuters have basically been forced to utilize the zipper technique.
  3. Jaywalking certainly isn't anywhere else I've ever been. But in our college town on the main roads, if it wasn't enforced then traffic would be bad and students would get hit because they rush around corners, don't look, and dash across the street.usually it is only enforced the first two weeks of classes every year. By then students learn not to do it because they can't afford the fines
  4. In our neighborhood we acknowledge each other as we drive by, pedestrians too. It isn't a one finger wave though. Generally, four fingers are lifted off the steering wheel. I wish people did the zipper merge method here. It is a chaotic free for all when merging is required. We're in a college town, yielding to pedestrians would cause way too much traffic. And the pedestrians get tickets for jaywalking.
  5. Since I believe I'm the only one who said 'living in fear's I'm going to assume you are referring to my post. But I was replying to someone saying another poster lives a privileged life for not experience daily fear. One can take precautions against men without fear.
  6. That is simply not true though. Not living in fear of men doesn't mean your life is privileged. It can simply mean you are not a person who lives in fear. I have been sexually assaulted. It happened in highschool at a friend's house by her brother. Despite that incident I've never been fearful of random men simply because I'm alone with them. I've been on alert in certain situations and have separated myself from men but it was not fear based. I am constantly aware of my surroundings and I know how to defend myself if I need to. But I am not afraid to walk down a sketchy street alone at night (not that I go out of my way to do it.) My dh, who is a professional martial artist and has fought in amateur cage fights is more uneasy on an unfamiliar street at night than I am.
  7. We always pick high deductible low premium. But that is because we can comfortably pay deductibles if issues arise, not that that has happened. We've only ever been in accidents where the other person's insurance paid so we had no deductible to deal with.
  8. I sneeze, cough, and blow my nose loudly when I'm sick. It helps get more gunk loose. I'm far louder than my dh
  9. They're asking it to get people's opinions on whether they are in the wrong in a situation or if their reaction was appropriate and the other person was the one in the wrong.
  10. I love that it was about Bandit picking what was best for his family non-financially instead of chasing money they didn't need. Had they not had the moments where the parents were struggling with the choice and where Chili specifically talks to Bluey about not being ok about it, I may feel more negatively. But I think it showed an important thing kids need to see.
  11. Or you could ask them if they are comfortable with you going into the guest room at specific times to rotate the eggs
  12. @Scarlett that all sounds so difficult. I hope your dh is able to get it resolved this week.
  13. The eclipse trip was so much fun. And budget wise, we were a little over what I had in mind but we're still on track for not blowing the budget for the month since I just anticipated needing a bit more in our miscellaneous category. Just gotta keep our goals at the front of my brain. No more side hustle income coming in this month, which is fine. But I would like to start picking up some more pet sitting gigs soon. I think ideally 4 a month would work for my schedule. I'd really love for more in home ones because I miss regularly having a dog in the house. So, maybe in the summer I'll start advertising that service.
  14. I would just keep doing what you're doing. Don't invite Sam, Sally can decide if she wants to go or not. Or tell Sally she is more than welcome to organize the event because you don't want to organize an event that you yourself won't participate in. And you won't participate in one that Sam attends.
  15. Well it's good they made it clear
  16. I would have been so upset if I paid $10 to go somewhere for the eclipse and they had fireworks. I hope people there weren't upaet
  17. For me, the most fascinating part in environmental change was how cold it got. It had been in the 70s and then during totality I had to put my hoodie back on. We're driving back to our Airbnb and so far haven't hit any traffic!
  18. We came to Indiana from Delaware. Perfect skies! Dh got some great pictures as well but they're on our camera not phone. We met a guy who brought eclipse binoculars. He let me try them out, it was awesome.
  19. I'm so glad you were able to experience it!
  20. It was completely clear skies here. It was amazing. Dh got some good pictures. Sorry for those who missed it
  21. We found a Catholic Church that has bathrooms and is selling concessions. We reserved 5 spots so the rest of our family can slowly join us.
  22. We're less than 2 hours from our totality destination, Vincennes, Indiana. So far, so good.
